Chapter 2909: Chapter 99: Something’s Wrong

Western Region, City Y, this is an important city located on the frontier border.

The western and southern parts of City Y border three or four small countries. In past years, these small countries struggled with poverty, underdevelopment, warlord banditry, and fragmented armed forces, causing local residents to live in hunger, cold, and the chaos of war.

The reason for this situation is due to the warm, humid climate and fertile soil here, which easily nurtures the cultivation of various ’poison grasses’, bringing enormous economic benefits to the fragmented armed forces.

Various factions in these border countries produce various ’poisonous products’ through the cultivation of ’poison grass’.

The prosperous and wealthy Eastonia has become the most ideal dumping market for these fragmented warlords and armed forces.

Despite strengthened border patrols and checkpoints over the years, it still can’t prevent some people from smuggling ’poisonous products’ into Eastonia for massive economic gains.

Even though the nation has intensified its governance efforts, these criminals still target Eastonia like a juicy piece of meat without restraint.

Therefore, this time the military has teamed up with several major military zones to conduct joint military exercises in City Y, aiming to deter and suppress these foreign criminals.

Within a military training camp in City Y, Ben Lucas had just finished inspecting the soldiers from the G City Military Zone who will participate in tomorrow’s exercise training and returned to his residence.

Harrison Lucas followed him, holding a notebook and carefully recording all the corrections Ben Lucas had just issued, looking so meticulous that one wouldn’t notice the intimate relationship she actually has with Ben Lucas in private.

This is Harrison Lucas, no matter how she is with Ben Lucas in private, on the battlefield or in the military work, she is always meticulous and diligent.

To get where she is today, Harrison Lucas relied not on flattering but on genuine hard work.

Harrison Lucas went down with her notebook and returned after a while.

Harrison Lucas: "Report, Major General, I have recorded and conveyed the items you mentioned just now, but I have seen the record files of the patrol in Triumph Mountain area, and it seems there is a problem."

Ben Lucas, who was getting ready to take off his equipment, paused his actions and turned back: "What problem?"

Harrison Lucas handed over the files she had found: "Please look at these pages, these are inspection logs from a few days ago, and it appears that nobody has ever inspected Area 313 to 316 in Triumph Mountain. I have asked the soldiers responsible for inspections a few days ago, and they said that Area 313 to 316, due to its treacherous terrain and difficulty of travel, is usually only surveyed during the monthly major inspections when helicopters are deployed.

But I have looked at the map; this area is close to Redington, where their country’s largest opium poppy plantation is located just beyond this area. I believe we should not weaken the patrols of this area."

Ben Lucas looked down at the records handed over by Harrison Lucas, his eyebrows furrowing more deeply as he read.

City Y shouldn’t be directly managed by the G City Military Zone, so he rarely comes here, and only visits during joint military exercises.

However, Triumph Mountain’s Area 313 to 316 falls within the jurisdiction of the G City Military Zone.

Because several major military zones conduct annual exercises and training here, over time, the defense and patrol work of this area naturally fell to the corresponding military zone.

Ben Lucas’s intuition told him that the neglect in patrolling Area 313 to 316 is definitely not coincidental.

Ben Lucas put down the records and said, "Send out the notice, everyone stand by. Harrison Lucas, count two teams, fully armed, and follow me to patrol these four areas."
